Comments:

One is placing over two for her advantage in general appearance. Though this is a close placing, the first place doe is more prominent in the brisket, deeper through the flank, and more balanced when comparing her width to her height and length. Two is standing over three for her advantages in general appearance. She is more level over the topline, particularly in the rump, and more smoothly blended in the front end and at the point of elbow.

Three is placing over four for her advantages in general appearance, though this is a close placing. Three is longer and more level over the topline and is more smoothly blended throughout.

Four is placing over five for her advantage in general appearance. She is stronger in her chine and on her pasterns, she is cleaner in the knees, and has a longer bone pattern than the fifth place doe.

Five is placing over six for her advantage in dairy character. She is more feminine and angular than the sixth place doe, with a more refined bone structure.

Six is placing over seven for her advantage in general appearance, being longer, leaner, and more angular than the seventh place doe.

Seven is placing over eight for her advantage in general appearance, as her front legs are straighter and she has more correct angulation to her rear legs.

The eighth place doe is to be commended for her strength of bone.

Comments:

One has the advantage over two in general appearance being longer and taller. She also excels in front end assembly with more width at the base of the front end assembly. She is more correct in fore legs in that hers are pointed more squarely forward with less tendency to turn outward. In Dairy character she shows a thinner thigh from the side and the rear and has a higher arch to her escutcheon.
Two has excels over three in turn for her general appearance. She has more correct angulation to the rear leg from stifle to hock and her rear legs are more perpendicular from hock to pastern. She also blends more smoothly from neck into shoulder. In dairy character 2 shows us a longer leaner neck than we see in 3. 2 will yield to 3 a greater depth at the flank.
Three is placed over four today because of this greater body capacity with more depth at the point of elbow and more width into the rear barrel. In general appearance she is a bit more level in the topline especially in the area of the chine.
Four has the advantage over five in general appearance. She blends more smoothly in the front end assembly as we look down at the top of the shoulder blade. She also stands with a shorter rear pastern than does 5.
Five excels six in dairy character. She is much more angled in the thigh with a thinner thigh as well. She is also more open in the escutcheon and freer from excess flesh in the flank than is 6.
Six has the advantage over seven in general appearance. In the front end whe has front legs that are set more correctly under the high point of the withers. She is straighter in the fore leg especially behind the knee and has a more appropriate length of cannon bone for her age. She has more width throughout than does 7.
Seven excels eight in general apearance with a longer wider back. She in turn is showing more angulation from stifle to hockk. In dairy character she is loner and leaner in the neck than is 8.

Eight is to be commended for her depth at the heart.
